Chapter 180 I'm going to set up a factory

There are many bamboo racks on the open space in the backyard of Gewuyuan. On the bamboo racks are placed bamboo flats, and the washed wool is placed in the bamboo flats to dry.

The color of wool that has not been bleached is still a little grayish yellow, but it is much better than freshly sheared wool. Wang Xiang grabbed a handful of wool and smelled it. The smell of the mutton was really much lighter. If you don’t smell it carefully, you can’t smell it at all. I think it will be better after charcoal grilling.

After a while, Li Chunfeng also rushed over after hearing the news, and he also had a strong smell on his body, which caused little loli to frown.

Li Chunfeng laughed: "The last batch of wool will be washed soon, and there won't be such a strong smell in the future."

Wang Xiang felt a little ashamed, and said embarrassedly: "It's hard work for you." This guy really has reason to be ashamed. As the court of Gewuyuan, he was sentenced to three days of fishing and two days of drying the net. All the big and small things of Gewuyuan were handed over to Li Chunfeng Even a prince like Li Zhi is dealing with wool, but he stays in the mansion and enjoys life every day.

Li Chunfeng said with a nonchalant smile, "It's really admirable that the judge can come up with the idea of ​​weaving clothes with wool. If the clothes made of wool are really as warm as the adults said, the people of Tang Dynasty will be blessed. What we do is nothing. "

Hearing what Li Chunfeng said, Wang Xiang thought shamelessly: That's right, a wise man takes care of himself...

Looking at the bamboo frames in the open space, Wang Xiang murmured, "There will be more and more wool in the future, and we can't always leave the processing of wool to Gewuyuan. Firstly, there is not enough space, and secondly, the smell is really bad. "

Li Zhi interjected with an aggrieved expression: "Isn't that right? Don't say that Sister Xiaowu dislikes it. The students of Gewuyuan also secretly say that the backyard of Gewuyuan has an unpleasant smell."

Wang Xiang rubbed his head and said: "You are the king of Jin, let others do the hair washing. If your majesty and the empress know that you are like this, you can't scold me to death. When you go back, let someone burn the pot." Take a good bath with hot water."

There are coal mines in Gewuyuan. In winter, there is no need to prepare firewood. Coal mines are much more useful than firewood.

Seeing Li Zhi nodded, Wang Xiang continued: "Actually, those two are not the main reasons. Gewuyuan is not a factory, but a place for research and learning of Gewu. When this batch of wool is successfully processed, we will master the method of processing wool. , so that the next thing can be done by someone."

Li Chunfeng asked curiously: "What does your lord mean?"

"Open a factory."

"Factory? What is a factory?"

"To put it simply, it is to build a special place to process wool. This place is a factory. People are called to help us process wool. We pay these people's wages."

Li Chunfeng frowned and said: "I heard from the adults that the wool from the Western Regions will be continuously shipped to Chang'an, and there are a lot of them. In winter, it's okay. Most of the people can come and help us with the wool when they have nothing to do, but I'm afraid when it's time for spring plowing and autumn harvest... "

Wang Xiang smiled and said: "Didn't I say that we will pay these people wages, even if they plant the land for a year, they can get a lot of harvest, but if they help us process the wool, the grain they can buy with one month's wages is better than growing the land by themselves." And more."

"This seems inappropriate. If everyone doesn't cultivate the land, where will the food come from?"

"Haha, Daoist Li is worrying too much. Don't talk about running a factory, even if you run ten or a hundred, you don't have to worry about it. Potatoes, corn, and Quyuanli have all been popularized. Farming is much easier than before. One person can Cultivating the land that could only be cultivated by a few people before, the grain output is more than ten times that of before, as long as the world is stable, the people will not be in danger of famine."

Wang Xiang continued: "However, when there is more food, the price of food will fall. If the people are farming like before, it will be a waste. If the same large crops are planted, the income may not be as high as before. Besides, people can't just live for For food, no matter how much food is stored at home, the people must have money in their hands, so that they can do more things."

Li Chunfeng nodded thoughtfully.

Little Lolita asked curiously: "Brother-in-law, what can ordinary people do with money?"

Li Zhi on the side also looked curious.

Wang Xiang smiled and said, "For example...reading."

Li Zhi and Little Lolita are both characters who can be emperors. It is still very stressful to pretend to be Wang Xiang in front of them. He coughed dryly and said: "Okay, these are all things in the future. Now, let's go first." Let’s make woolen sweaters as soon as possible so that you can have a warm winter.”

Little Loli giggled: "I want two woolen sweaters!"

"Okay, a few pieces are fine." Wang Xiang laughed.The first batch of wool processed is not too small, and it is no problem to make dozens of woolen sweaters.

Li Zhi looked at Wang Xiang hesitantly as if he wanted to say something, Wang Xiang asked curiously: "Child, do you have something to say?"

"Wang Jiancheng, the queen mother is not in good health, I want to make some woolen sweaters for her."

It turned out that this was the case, no wonder he had to deal with the wool himself. Li Zhi is indeed the most filial among the many princes of Li Er. where it goes.

Wang Xiang said softly: "Of course it's okay to make sweaters for the empress, not only the empress, but also young slaves."

"What about the father?" Li Zhi looked up at Wang Xiang.

Can Li Er not have it, and he has to peel off his own skin, Wang Xiang nodded and said: "Your Majesty certainly has it."

"Yeah." Li Zhi nodded, and stretched out his fingers to calculate: "Brother Prince, his leg injury has not healed until now, and it will be even more uncomfortable when it's cold."

"Yes, yes, His Royal Highness also has it." It doesn't matter if there is one more thing.

"There are also myna and my ninth brother. Before the holiday, they said they wanted a woolen sweater."

"Have……"

"Well, there is also little Si, she is most afraid of the cold."

"Have……"

……

After half a stick of incense time passed, the little loli puffed her cheeks and glared at Li Zhi angrily. Li Zhi finally let go of his hand in embarrassment and looked at Wang Xiang embarrassedly: "Wang Jiancheng, is it too much?"

How much time do you think it takes to recite half a stick of incense...

"Not much..." Wang Xiang turned his head stiffly and looked at Li Chunfeng: "Li Daochang, I will find someone to find a place to set up a factory tomorrow, no, I will go right away!"

After being told by Li Zhi, Wang Xiang realized that the current amount of wool was not enough, it was not enough to prepare for the palace, but those people Li Zhi said really had to give it away, it was really a headache.

Not only in the palace, but also in Lao Cheng's house, right?There are also Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling. A few days ago, I asked them for a few articles to be printed at Linglong Bookstore. It would be unreasonable not to send them a sweater, right?There are also Li Jing, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde...these bosses usually take good care of themselves, so it would not be good to give them to others, right?Besides, they will come to snatch it...

At least a few pieces should be sent to Ningxiang. Hey, the current amount of wool is far from enough. The factory can run it, and the wool scourers can be recruited. The problem is wool. I don’t know if there is any wool in such a cold day. The caravan came from the Western Regions.

When Wang Xiang was sad and sad, someone came in to report.

"My lord, a merchant from the Western Regions named Kasang came outside. He brought a lot of goods and said he was looking for your lord."

Wang Xiang's eyes lit up when he heard the words, he was really sleepy, someone gave him a pillow, and when he was worried, Kasang came.
